Yes, I am going to make a video for each of the Pixar's 22 Rules for Storytelling (the full list can be found here: http://www.pixartouchbook.com/blog/2011/5/15/pixar-story-rules-one-version.html). Be sure to subscribe to this channel to not miss any of the forthcoming videos. I plan to release one/week.
Rule #2: You gotta keep in mind what's interesting to you as an audience, not what's fun to do as a writer. They can be v. different.
Simply put, you are not your audience. Yes, you are a member of your audience, but an audience of one does not a paycheck make. As a storyteller, you've got to 1) know your audience and 2) be willing to make that audience happy. Even if that means making poop jokes for 3 minutes, which is what I do in this video, as much as it disgusts me.
